About me

• I live in Washington, DC's Mt. Pleasant neighborhood.
• I grew up in Miami, Florida.
• I have some irregularities in my lexicon.

Technologies I work with

• I spend time thinking about how best to analyze and present data with R. I really like graphs.
• I mainly program in Python. I have a lot experience using the Numpy and Scipy numerical and scientific packages (see my MEG software Cephalo, which relies heavily on Numpy).
• I get especially excited when I get to work with large datasets on the GB and TB-scale.
• I have experience developing code and algorithms for use in MapReduce contexts. Particulary as it is implemented by Hadoop. I usually write my Hadoop jobs using Dumbo.
• Whatever code I generate is shared on Github.
